Running, charity & eye gazing.
Training for Dublin, raising money, and what happens when strangers really look at each other.
The people who have your back.
On unconditional support, and the people who turn up when it counts.
Purpose & process.
When the body shows up but the heart and mind are in neutral. Finding purpose in a busy season.
